Here is a Medical Pictures treat about a procedure I was
unaware of - Cryosurgery. Practical Cryosurgery
published by Pittman Medical Publishing Co, 1975.
"...The results
of cryosurgery should not be minimized or spurned, nor should
cases be treated indiscriminately, each must be carefully assessed
and the application of the freezing properly timed and controlled."
H.P. Holden (Introduction
to Practical Cryosurgery).
Cryosurgery is
basically freezing nasty shit and whacking it off. The first two
pictures in the gallery illustrate cryosurgery eye work, the book
warns "inexperienced" surgeons to be careful for "the
lens may be ruptured by the sharp point of the forceps."
Pictures include cryosurgery on the eye,
hemorrhoids being frozen and the
horrific deep freezing probe of the prostate. So much nasty shit can happen to the human body - it's mind boggling.
